In order to accommodate minimal trail widths, this alignment will require demolition of the facility at 21340 Soledad Canyon Road (commonly known as Far West Rent-A-Car). Under the terms of the general use agreement between the City and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the City will be permitted to purchase the master lease and sublease interests at 21340 Soledad Canyon Road. Although the MTA use agreement has not yet been fully executed, the MTA is aware of and does not object to the City's relocation efforts regarding this facility in order to maintain the project schedule. These relocation efforts consist of two major tasks: acquisition of the master leasehold interests, and relocation of the businesses operating out of the facility. The facility at 21340 Soledad Canyon Road is owned by Sandra Cone and Cheryl Cron of Crescent City, California. Cone and Cron also hold the master leasehold interests with the MTA. Cone and Cron do not operate any businesses out of the facility; they have subleased the facility to Far West Rent-A-Car. Far West Rent-A-Car operates a portion of the facility, but has also entered into lower -tier subleases with two other firms: Down and Under (Ski Wear), and Comfortubs. R. P..Laurain & Associates has completed their appraisal of the facility, and a negotiated settlement of $26,200 has been reached with Cone and Cron for the building acquisition and for the master leasehold interests with the MTA. Staff requests City Council authorization to purchase these interests for the sum of $26,200, and that the Mayor be authorized to sign the appropriate acquisition documents on behalf of the City. Funds, through a discretionary Proposition C grant, are available in account no. 17-99029-227 for this purpose. Agenda item: Chuck Pontius Commuter Rail Trail - Project No. 99-029 Acquisition of Master Leasehold Interests at 21340 Soledad Canyon Road November 8, 1994 Page 2 Once the acquisition documents are executed, staff further requests authorization to terminate tenant and subtenant agreements, and to issue the appropriate 90 -day notices to vacate. Provided that tenants display a good faith effort toward relocation, staff requests that the City Manager be authorized to use his discretion to extend the notice to vacate date through March 30, 1995. RECOMMENDATION 1. City Council authorize purchase of the facility and all master leasehold interests commonly known as 21340 Soledad Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, California for the sum of $26,200; and that the Mayor be authorized to sign the appropriate acquisition documents on behalf of the City. 2. City Council subsequently authorize termination of tenant and subtenant agreements, and direct that notice to vacate documents be issued. Provided that tenants display a good faith effort toward relocation, and provided that interim rents are submitted in a timely manner, City Council to authorize the City Manager, at his discretion, to extend the notice to vacate date through March 30, 1995.

Yes that $50,000 might pay for our loss of business plus relocating us to a "store front" rent -a -car similar to one of our competitors on Creekside Drive, But does the City really want to have to contend with the parking of some 80 cars and UHaul trucks on already overcrowded Creekside drive? At this time I request that you table Agenda Item #12 to be reconsidered at your December 13 meeting. This will allow us to meet further with your staff to negotiate a final settlement which will be amicable to both parties and act as a model to the future of small business in the Santa Clarita Valley.
